The captain of the Great Wall submarine is a gentle man with a bad temper, named Zhao Yunlong.
The main purpose of this trip to sea is to test the actual combat performance of the new AIP system. As long as this test reaches the specified indicators, the new AIP system can be widely used in the construction of subsequent boats.
Zhao Yunlong has been commanding conventional submarines for ten years. His transfer and promotion orders were issued four months before this trip. He was transferred to the captain of the submarine Long March, promoted to the rank of naval colonel, and promoted to deputy division commander.
class.
In other words, he will become one of the few deputy division-level nuclear submarine captains.
Prior to that, he served as chief engineer, weapons director, deputy captain, captain, deputy chief of staff of the detachment, and captain in the conventional submarine detachment...
According to his qualifications, he should have gone ashore long ago. However, Zhao Yunlong regards underwater sports as his life, and his career ideal is to become the captain of a strategic nuclear submarine. However, his personality is very unsuitable, and he is always ready to start a fire and kill someone.
In the last few years of his sea service career, he finally received the order to be transferred to the captain of a strategic nuclear submarine, and was successfully promoted from a regimental-level captain of a conventional submarine to a deputy division-level senior captain of a strategic nuclear submarine.
On the day when the order was announced to send off Zhao Yunlong, the officers and soldiers of the Great Wall submarine lined up neatly on the trestle. Zhao Yunlong saluted and hugged them one by one. He couldn't help crying at the beginning. He said goodbye to a brother who had been with him day and night for so many years. He was so hard-hearted.
For example, Zhao Yunlong couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Go back, political commissar, take everyone back and clean the torpedo room thoroughly. Lao Gao and your engine department should focus on the operation of the AIP system..."
"Okay, why don't you say goodbye to your mother-in-law? Why don't you go to sea without your Great Wall?" The detachment leader interrupted him impatiently and said, "You are going to the Long March Army, and your connection with our Great Wall Expeditionary Army is very poor.
There are very few. You have a deep research on the AIP system. Come back and communicate with everyone when you have time."
The detachment leader seemed to be muttering to himself, sighing, "I originally planned to let you take the lead in conducting practical tests of the new AIP system, but I didn't expect the promotion order to come so soon."
He and the political commissar of the detachment escorted Zhao Yunlong to the Land Cruiser parked more than a hundred meters away, talking while talking.
"The arrangements made by the superiors are not up to you and me. Let's find another way." The political commissar of the detachment said.
"When I'm only given a week, what can I do? I've planned it. If it doesn't work, I'll just fill it in with my old bones."
"Look at you, why are you talking about this on this big day..."
The speaker was "unintentional" but the listener was intentional. Zhao Yunlong immediately asked, "Detachment leader, political commissar, what kind of actual combat test of the new AIP system? I haven't received any news."
"It shouldn't be. You are the AIP expert in our submarine force. You should be sent a separate briefing." The detachment leader frowned and said.
The political commissar of the detachment said, "That was in the past. Now that Yunlong is being transferred, it is normal not to send him a separate notification."
"That's the only way to explain it." The detachment leader said, looking at Zhao Yunlong, "Okay, okay, stop torturing me, let's go, let's take you to the car."
Zhao Yunlong's thoughts were all on the new AIP system. He frowned and asked, "What is the situation of the new AIP system? At what stage is it?"
As the detachment leader said, Zhao Yunlong is an AIP system expert in the Navy's submarine force. The first submarine captain equipped with an AIP system was Zhao Yunlong. At that time, he had already worked in various departments for ten years.
The first captain of every subsequent generation of AIP submarines was Zhao Yunlong.
"The new generation AIP system has been tested on a certain test boat for more than a year and is just about ready. After passing the long-term submersible test, the manufacturer can start production... Hi, I'm telling you
Why are you talking about this? If you don’t say anything, let the manufacturer’s technicians wait at the guest house. I will definitely take you to the car..."
The political commissar of the detachment said so.
Zhao Yunlong suddenly stopped. The detachment leader and the detachment political commissar stopped in perfect agreement, as if they had been waiting.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Zhao Yunlong said, "Detachment leader, political commissar, do you think this will work? After completing the actual combat test of the new AIP system, I will report to the new unit."
"Yunlong, what do you mean..." The detachment leader pretended to be angry, but the joy between his brows could not be concealed at all.
Zhao Yunlong said, "Registration is postponed. The actual combat test of the new AIP system is left to me. I will take my soldiers to accept the actual combat test of the new boat. After completing the task, I will report to the new unit."
The political commissar of the detachment said calmly, "Yunlong, this is not something you can postpone just by saying you postpone it. To say the least, your superiors have approved your postponement, but after you complete the actual test of the new AIP system, whether the position will still be there depends on
Another thing. You have to think clearly."
Compared with the detachment leader, the political commissar's expression at least looked sincere.
Zhao Yunlong said, "If you can't go, then you can't go. The actual test of the new AIP system is most important right now. Japan has developed an AIP system that can submerge for thirty days, and the technology is very mature."
"Let me remind you, Zhao Yunlong." The detachment leader said extremely seriously, "You are already forty years old, and you only have five years of working underwater at most. If you miss this opportunity, you may not have another chance in the future.
You may never realize your dream of being a nuclear submarine captain in this life."
Zhao Yunlong said, "Commander of the detachment, this is a strategic nuclear submarine. Whichever ocean I sail to, countries along the coast of the ocean will be wary of that kind of nuclear submarine."
"Yes, yes, if you apply to postpone your registration, I am sure that your superiors will approve it. After all, the actual test of the new AIP system is very important. But if you missed this opportunity, you..."
"Detachment leader." Zhao Yunlong interrupted, looked at the political commissar of the detachment, and suddenly smiled, "You and the political commissar have been singing double acts for a long time. Although your acting skills are very poor, at least you have the meaning. You two actually don't need to be like this.
Come, if you need me to stay, I will stay."
The detachment leader stared at the political commissar of the detachment and said, "I said early on that Yunlong is a person who cares about old friendships, and there is no need to engage in such miscellaneous things!"
"Hey, hey, it seems like it was your idea, right?"
The two military and political officers got into a fight, and Zhao Yunlong postponed his transfer and brought the original team to take over the modification of the Great Wall Armor...
The suffix "A" is added to distinguish it from other Great Wall submarines.
Zhao Yunlong and his brothers spent more than three months completing the modification training and became thoroughly familiar with the performance of the Great Wall. Immediately, after they were fully prepared, they began the ultimate test. As long as they passed the ultimate test, the AIP system and this
A new model of Great Wall boat will be mass-produced.
One of the most critical indicators is snorkeling endurance, that is, how long it can stay underwater. To put it simply, it means how long a submarine can stay underwater.
The power of nuclear submarines lies in their unlimited range and the fact that they do not need to surface for recharging. In theory, nuclear submarines can directly submerge from one side of the ocean to the other without needing to surface in the process.
Conventional submarines rely on electric propulsion for underwater navigation. Before submersing, the storage battery is fully charged, and then it dives. After the battery is used up, it comes up again and starts the diesel unit to generate electricity and charge. The internal combustion engine requires oxygen to work, so the submarine must surface.
water surface.
AIP actually means "a submarine using an air-independent propulsion engine" and is not the name of the power system. However, the biggest difference between AIP and diesel engine submarines is the power propulsion system, so everyone is used to calling it "
AIP submarine".
Zhao Yunlong's mission was to increase the maximum underwater self-sustainability of the Great Wall to XX days. Just in the last few hours of the last day, two Burke-class destroyers simulating the Blue Army caught him off guard as if they had discussed it.

If it weren't for the actual combat test, Zhao Yunlong would have given the order to use attack sonar!
